If you have some protein powder, put a scoop in water, shake or stir

and drink up. Go back to sleep. Some cottage cheese might work too.

I wouldn't eat fruit.

As if most of you aren't already aware... even though I was an integral part of

starting this group with Marta... I am inundated these days... with four kids!

I have to confess that I am failing at keeping up with the group and (right now

I'm 380 messages behind).

Obviously, Marta, Jo and a few others are doing MORE than their share of making

sure this group runs smoothly!

BUT... I am here if needed. BUT.... if you desperately need me, please email

erowley@... and separate from emailing through the group. The idea

is... I don't always get to read the group emails that I have in a separate

folder... but those sent directly to the above email address DO get read.

Thanks! And, I love you all... just running around like a chicken with my head

cut off these days!

Usually this is calculated as a percent of billings. So just take a period of

time and divid your expenses by the billings you had for that time.

It does change all the time, but not by that much and less if you use longer

periods of time. Expenses can come in nonlineraly, as can billings. Use the last

6-12 months and see what you get.

Your percent can up or down with more patient, depends on whether you need more

stuff to see those patients. Mine runs 25%, unless I buy vaccines, then it runs

more.

I dunno my overhead might be higher than 35%

I got that number form somewhere before I dunno

NOw I feel guilty

but it is not bad...my overhead.

maybe I will do the math sometime for real.

I mean it is a moving target isn;'t it Except for billing my costs are pretty

fixed ... so when I make more the overhead goes down right

I can't do math like Egly can...

why sweat the small stuff I work honeslty I pay my bills I code fair I

take good care of people and then I go home.
